3-5 days for EMS as far as i know.

Yep it takes 3-5 days. It can sometimes take a day or 2 longer if it the parcel gets caught up at customs though.

It takes as long as it would take for you to blink!!
Seriously, our resident Japanese shop Mr Tokuda/PriestJPN posted my games via EMS on a Friday afternoon and they were at my home BEFORE 12 on the MONDAY. I don't know if they are always this quick but this kind of speed is what our postal service is thriving to acheive with regular mail. I was stunned at the speed.

I ordered a few bits from www.goldenshop.com.hk on the wednesday and they got to me on the friday morning.

that was with ems 3 day, and missed customs , which was nice
